Advantages: Adds to gaming experience, fun, price
Disadvantages: small c button thats all

...hands on the brand new Nintendo Wii console (not meaning to brag) and after weeks of solid gaming I thought it was about time I told the online world my opinions of it. For anybody that has been locked away from society over christmas the Wii is Nintendo's brand new home console machine. It was this christmas's must have gadget due to its new wireless motion sensetive controllers and fun, party orientated game play. All I will say about the Wii in ... Read review

Advantages: Works very well and is comfortable
Disadvantages: Feels slightly cheap but costs a bomb

...easy. And the minds at Nintendo have given it a smart ninja-like nickname that should catch on. It's very clear why they haven't made them permanently attatched as well - it would completely ruin the console. So lets get into the thick of this review then. My nunchuk controller came with my Wii today. Yep - I've got the gift that EVERYONE wants this Xmas and don't just downgrade my review because of that. Be nice. My nunchuk came free with ...

Advantages: Comfortable. Works well
Disadvantages: A little light and a bit pricey

...those who aren’t aware the Nintendo Wii console uses wireless controllers with that being in two parts the main controller (which is used for all games) and is held in your dominant hand and the Nunchuck. The Nunchuck also communicates wirelessly with Wii but it can not work on it own, it has to be connected to the main controller by means of a short wire which plugs into the connector in the bottom of the main controller and it gets its power ...

Advantages: tracks movement, handy analogue stick, extra buttons
Disadvantages: not wireless, cost

Another dimension in Wii gaming. This small yet powerful device plugs into the base of your wii remote and offers the same motion sensing cabability of the wii remote as well as a couple of shoulder buttons and an analogue stick. Altough this product is quite costly at £15 meaning that with a wii remote your looking at £45 for a game controller. It does add a whole new level to your wii experience as with its motion sensing the wii system can now ... Read review

Advantages: Two-handed gaming
Disadvantages: none

The nunchuk is a completely new addition to the gaming world, and in my opinion, it is what sets the Wii apart from many other consoles. By having two controllers, the gameplay and reality increases dramatically (and often gets you tired out a lot quicker!). Admittedly, they have to be bought separately for multiplayer use, as only one comes with the console, but this is the same with ordinary controllers. They are generally used for sports game (namely ... Read review

Advantages: Lightweight, large well placed buttons
Disadvantages: The cable

Bit wierd to use a first and why oh why did they put a cable on a controller for the wii!!! seems a bit against the grain to me. Once you get past the inital awkwardness of the cable the controller fits well into your hand and adds a good dimension to gaming. It's joystick is smooth and hard wearing (it's been batter around the floor by my 3yr old nephew!!). Just be a bit careful as it does tend to fly out of your hands when you get a bit ... Read review

Advantages: One of the most comfortable controllers.
Disadvantages: Expensive for what it is.

When i got my Wii, i made sure to have two Wii-Motes and 2 Nunchuks, and the Nunchuks were extremely expensive for what they are. The Nunchuk consists of a joystick, a C button and a Z button, all in a nice well-finished design. After hours of gaming, your Nunchuk will still be comfortable to hold onto, although it may be a little sweaty, depending on how hardcore a gamer you are, but it has a brilliant finish, and the white makes it look, ...
